MAYONNAISE-MiXER. 1 I

ApplicationfiledNovemberlfi, 1916. SerialN0.131,671. y

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. DRUCKER, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, and a resident of New York city, l/Voodhaven, borough ofQueens, county of Queens, and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Mayonnaise-Mixer, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

My invention relates to a mixing device particularly adaptable formixing mayonnaise and characterized by a revoluble container and astationary member constituting the agitator of the mixer.

Another object is to provide a simple, inexpensive and eflicient devicewhich may be easily maintained sanitary.

With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will morefully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in thenovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fullydescribed, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of the application, similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding numbers in all the views;

Figure 1 is an elevation of the device embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 33 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4: is a detail view of the clamp supporting the agitator.

Referring to the drawings;

5 is the bed or support, which near the lower end thereof carries a pairof spaced brackets 6. The brackets have alining apertures engaged by ashaft 7. A platform 8 is in rigid connection with the shaft 7 athrust-bearing 9 is interposed between the platform and the upperbracket 6. The shaft 7 carries a pinion 10 near the lower bracket whichmeshes with a gear 11 revolubly mounted in an extension 12 of the plate13 which forms an integral part of the brackets 6. Motion may beimparted to the gear 11 by a crank 14 as shown, or by any suitable motorin cases where the mixer is of large size.

The platform 8 is dished to form a carrier for a container 15, thecontainer has a stud or pin 16 near the bottom thereof for which abayonet slot 17 is provided in the flange of thecarrier or platform 8. Alatch 18 is provided on theflange of the carrier to lock the pin in thebayonet slot and in consequence lock the container to the carrier.

A member 19 is suspended in the container from a clamp 20 forming a partof the bracket 21 extending from the support 5. The member 19 presents aplurality of parallel spaced bars 22 extending substantially through theentire depth of the container and disposed obliquely topresent anattacking edge to the contents of thecon tainer set into revolution whenthe platform 8 is revolved. This member 19 consti tutes the agitator ofthe mixer for it breaks up the rotary movement of the contents duringthe revolution of the container and thereby causes an intimate mixtureof the ingredients. I

The support 5 also carries a shelf 23 above the bracket 21 on which aremounted the containers 24 and 25 for oil and vinegar respectively withsuitable faucets for delivering directly into the container 15.

The operation of the device is as follows:

After the ingredients are put into the container 15 the same is set inrevolution by revolving the shaft 7 The rotary motion imparted to thecontents is broken up by the obliquely disposed members 22 of thestationary agitator 19. Due to the fact that the container is revolvedin lieu of the agitator 19 a quicker and better mixing of theingredients is obtained. After the mixing it is only necessary todisengage the member 19 from the clamp 20 and then the container 15 fromthe carrier 8. When both are removed from the carrier 8 the member 19can then be taken out of the container and the contents of the containerpoured out. The container and the member 19 can be thoroughly cleanedand placed in position for the next operation.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. A mixer, comprising a support, a ver tical shaft mounted in thesupport, a platform on the upper end of the shaft above said support, areceptacle mounted on and detachably secured to said platform, a beaterin the receptacle and having a stemlike member projecting from its upperend, a bracket above the receptacle and having means for removably'securing the stem-like ing flarige, a receptacle on the platform, memberof the beater thereto to hold the means for locking the receptacle tothe 10 beater stationary, and means for operating flange of theplatform, a heater in the rethe saidshaft. I ceptacle, means forsuspending the heater in 5 2. A mixer, comprising a support, a verthereceptacle, and means for operating the tical shaft mounted in thesupport, a plat said-shaft.- form secured to the upper end of the shaftand havinga peripheral upwardly project- WILLIAM J. DRUCKER.
